I do agree that the rules were very 'sketchy'.
I've been slightly worried that Rendition would
have to change the rules a bit due to legal
considerations. Of course, I'm starting to wonder
if Rendition even employs "a" lawyer. :)

As far as "restrictions", I've entered the
contest assuming that all goes well with "all goes
well" meaning that I'm not disqualified due to
legal stuff having to do with my age. At 17
years, the system doesn't work well for those
like myself. I am stuck working at a fast food
place because of it. Most competitions where
prizes are won have age restrictions, probably due
to legal garbage? I'm pretty sure that E3 has an
age restriction of 18... Of course, if I am in
the top 3... I can't help but wonder.
